http://postimg.org/image/rpcwj7gj9/faf27263/ Can anyone help me with 2 geometry questions?! :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no problem, i might have to hop back and forth with another person lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

SO for 22, the lighter sphere's diameter is 4, and the shaded sphere is 12

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you know the sphere volume equation?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

V= 4/3(pi)(r)^3 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

as for the question itself, you just find the volumes, and subtract from each other

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes correct!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But remember it is DIAMETER, and we want RADIUS, and to get that, we divide the diameter by 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Then you just plug the values of the radius for the equation and find both, then subtract to find your answer!, find it and i will check

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so is the diameter 8?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no, one of the diameter is 4, and one is 12

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so find the radius of them both! and then plug them in

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohhh! I didn't see the 12 xD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so I do 4/3 * 3.14 * 6^3 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes sorry! i was helping another person

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And you would do the same for the other sphere, whose diameter is 4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and I get 1657.92 - 33.49 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How did you get 1657.etc

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I plugged 4/3 * 3.14 * (6)^3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmmm, well 4/3= 1.3333333.... 1.3333.....x3.14 (personally like to use pi but whatever :P)=4.18666666... So then 6^3 equals 216 so 4.1866666666X216=904.32

OpenStudy (anonymous):

other one is right :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wow xD blonde moment there! Can you help with the other if you have the time? XD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea! so we know how to find the shaded area quickly, because volume of rectangular prism is l x w x h

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you know the cylinder volume formula

OpenStudy (anonymous):

v=(pi)(r^2)(h)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So we already know the height and radius. To know these you have to image a bit. The circle/ends of the cylinder take up the whole ends of the prism except for those slivers. The diameter would just be one of the sides, which is 8 in this case. Then we find the radius which is 4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and to find the hieght it is the length of the prism, which is, you guessed it, 32

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so then we just subtract the volumes from each other

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hope i helped!!!!
